1 ft. ALTAMIRA The works examined here thus far, whether portable or fixed to rocky outcroppings or cave walls, are all small. They are dwarfed by the “herds” of painted animals that roam the cave walls of southern France and northern Spain, where some of the most spectacular prehistoric art has been discovered (see “Paleolithic Cave Painting,” page 20).

It is located within view of Çatal Höyük and is the only twin-peaked volcano in central Anatolia.
